Effective Customer Authentication

15 July 2004,    BSG House, 226-236 City Road, London, EC1V 2TT 

Chair: Jill Cousins, Web Publishing Consultant

Delivery of valuable material over the web necessitates its protection
both from an IP standpoint and to prevent corruption or damage. Online
products and services need to authenticate users to exclude unauthorised
access and record useful data about customers.

Whether within a company, university or other institutional environment
this can involve practical complexities that impact upon how flexibly
publishers can manage customers' access rights, and it is becoming
increasingly important that authentication methods do not inhibit
publishers' abilities to develop new business models.

This briefing will review the standard authentication techniques in
widespread use, and examine a number of emerging authentication services,
with special regard to 'single sign-on' - services offering users the
benefit of only having to remember one set of account details for
accessing multiple online products and services.

Who should attend

The updates are designed for middle and senior management whose primary
focus may not be in technical areas but who need to make decisions
regarding the implementation of technology.
